Steam machine ENGINE

Missed opportunity to call it the steam engine oruh

They already had the branding name since over a decade ago.

And Steam Engine doesn't describe what it is, a machine, not an engine powering said machine.

Gamers associate "engine" with game engines, not devices.
Steam Engine sounds more fitting for a successor of the Source Engine than for a Steam PC.

But the frame isn’t associated with like, a case for a pc or something? Fair enough with the source engine connection though.

:nkCool:

Fair on the branding but a machine is something that has physical parts that complete a certain task, this device is a LOT more open ended than a machine id say, more like something to power an experience or something like that. Idk, I suppose I just see the metaphor connected way easier with this name than the one they chose
